What would be a good way to position three or all four umbrellas for a portrait of single person?

It depends on how much light you need. I usually position the black on3s ouside and the white ones I uusefor softer light in the middle. U need to make sure to move em depending on the pose and were the persons facebis

No, not at all the, u should google some of ways to place umbrellas for photos. The white umbrellas will be place the opposite position of the black ones

I bought a plastic stand from Walmart that you fill with sand to keep it secured for the pole of the umbrella. very inexpensive and it looks nice.

I would suggest get the umbrella kit, drill hole in center board and attach a bracket that should be in the kit

They are pretty decent for the price. More than powerful for the price. You don't need 3 to do portraits; you can do a portrait with 1 light. It just depends what look you are trying to get.

Try a NEEWER® LED Flash Light Bracket Hot/Cold Shoe Mount Handle Grip For DSLR Movie Camera DV , Amazon = $2.04. It looks like a vertical hand grip for an umbrella, 5" long, with a shoe at top and a threaded hole in the bottom. Screw the monopod in the bottom and attach the flash unit in the shoe at top.

You need 4 for all sides to have one. The umbrella is like a cross, so 4 quadrants. Hope this helps.

You can clamp anything on the frame to support a canopy or Large umbrella.....just understand such attachments become a sail under the slightest of breeze. :)

Yes, all the light bulb mounts are exactly the same. Umbrellas could go on the smaller tripods.

The part of the bar you see in the picture coming off the pole has like a plastic clamp that you can open...move the umbrella to its desired position side to side and then clamp it secure.

It's not a good idea to do any more than four photos on one throw. The more images you add will make the images smaller and won't be able to weave with as much detail and risk making them unrecognizable and being unhappy with the finished product. As for the letting that is no problem at all.

For the money, this is a good setup for YouTube videos. If the video only has one subject, putting two lights in each umbrella and getting them really close is plenty of light. It works like a beauty ring at that point. Good luck!

I am currently using a light and umbrella combination that weigh's 20lbs and its solid!! Best investment for saving space in a studio. I anchored it into the drywall and unless an adult hangs from the armature ita not going anywhere.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft

Hello Mamamia, I would say it probably could prevent the umbrella rotating in a light breeze, if you tighten the set screw really hard, but I wouldn't count on it stopping rotation in any sort of stiff breeze, as that umbrella will have lots of leverage to bring to bear on that small area. You may actually want the umbrella to turn in the wind, rather than fall over. The center tube is 1-3/4" diameter on the outside, and comes with inserts to fit two smaller size umbrella poles. By the way, the tube is water-tight, and fills with rain water. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying when you put the umbrella pole in and water gushes out of the tube. Even though it's powder-coated steel, I'd recommend drilling a small hole as close to the bottom of the tube as you can, to let it drain. Otherwise, it's a fine stand!

Yes, you need four of these to anchor the base completely. You might get by with just two opposite of each other in less windy areas. Remember, this is designed for a specific base type, having edges that extend along the ground surface and long enough to fit under the edges of the wedges. That said, it is very wind-durable... from what I've seen, wind will more likely bend the umbrella pole before it blows over these weights!

That is going to depend on the size of the umbrella and the length of the offset. Without knowing if you have a small umbrella with a very short offset, I doubt it. I would guess that two is the minimum to start with and you might need 3 or 4.

these are made for an offset umbrella and your need 4 to complete the circle at the base. You should have prongs at the base that four fit around and base is like a cross so one base fits on each like 4 pie pieces.
